Band Of Gypsys - Band Of Gypsys (1970)

An intriguing suggestion for reconstructing an unreleased album was suggested by someone a while back, who wanted to hear a studio version of Jimi Hendrix's Band Of Gypsys live album from 1970. I wasn't entirely sure that it was possible, but after looking into all the out-takes from the period, it is possible to achieve by changing the concept of the band from Jimi Hendrix's Band Of Gypsys to just the Band Of Gypsys. This allows us to use the Buddy Miles version of 'We Got To Live Together', as no full Hendrix studio recording of this song exists. In the end we have three studio jams, two actual Hendrix studio recordings, and one from Buddy Miles from the same year, giving the best approximation of a studio version of the live album. It's no great revelation, but it was fun to do, and good to hear the Buddy Miles version of his great 'We Got To Live Together'.

After I posted this it was pointed out to me (thanks Paul) that a studio version of 'Changes' does exist, whereas I originally said that it didn't, so the link has now been updated to include it.
